ries, and the supply hero in this regard is jus
ns constant as that Of any smoky town In tn,
land. Every presidential Inauguration bring
from 100000 to 100000 visitors who vii
spend on tho average $40 ut least each ThI
makes n regular supply of at least 81 ,500,OOC
every four years, or nn average OF S3I1,OOO
year. from ono source alone The visitors oi
each congressional session add at least 10000.
] should judge, to Washington's population
during the winter, and 1t would be indeed q
low estimate to put the cold outlay Of these
at slOO each. The individual sum is small,
but its total amounts To S3,0OO,O0O u season.
Then take congress itself with its numerous
employees. Tho 325 members receive %, 900 each
n wear, and the majority of them spend three
fourths of their salaries here, while some
Gpeud two or three times the whole ah,hO.
Washington gets perhaps $lOJO,OOO ouu of
ho salaries of congressman alone, and IL gota
-1veral times this much ont of its resident
..pvernnent clerks. Take the treasury, for
Instance, with it's 1000 clerks; where will you

IN wages to its enployesi The average must
10 not far from $1,000 each year, and the
total will amount TO millions. All that
town gets from factory is
the wages of its employees, and these
government departments are 10 Wash
ington just what factories are to Pttsburg
and Chicago. Tho only difference is the gov
ernment factory hands get higher wages, and
hesc are never scaled, no matter how hard
Dhe times nor how scarce money Is in other
narts of the country. Government clerks as
rule spend more freely and save less than
'ren receiving the same salaries elsewhere

have much leisure on their hands and there is
every temptation for them to be extrtvagant
They are so, and but few of them save any
thing. These government factories increase
every year, aud they will continue to grow
as fast as the country increases in population
and wealth Another source of increase in
Washingtons size is the social element which
has become so prominent lately. Every
millionaire who comes to Washington brings
retinue of servants, and his yearly expenses
run up into the tens OF thousands He builds
and invests, and the result Is that he Is worth
dozen poor men in building up the city.
Then there are the general expenses of the
government, nmounting-to over 500, ,OOO, 600
u year. Washington business men get some
Of this, and on the whole the city manages to
i've.
These are some of the sources of our national
capitals growth. | do not give them to adj.
